Kinzie Hotel

The receptionist that checked us in was so nice and attentive. She made us feel very welcomed and mentioned how we also get the free breakfast the next morning.

I disliked that there was only one operating elevator, so wait time was kind of long. We were only on the second floor, therefore we could have taken the stairs but we were told that you could risk being locked in if you use the staircase. The room seemed a little outdated especially the thermostat system, however it looked like they were starting construction to upgrade. I really liked the location of this hotel and the convenience of having most things in walking distance. The room and other facilities in the hotel were clean and kept very clean. The staff was very kind throughout our stay, they greeted us every single time we came in and left the hotel. They were attentive and ready to help anytime.

The hotel is located just outside the Chicago loop, close to most of the attractions by walking, close to a Metro (CTA) station and the Start line of the Chicago Marathon (max 15min). The room and WC were very spacious, clean with very comfortable bed.

Fantastic location to see Chicago! One block back from the river and Riverfont Walk. Most attractions within 20 minute walk and walking felt perfectly safe for a solo female traveller. Lovely big comfortable room. Great “continental” breakfast included juices, fresh fruit, yoghurt, bagels, croissants, muffins and bread, but also waffle maker to make your own fresh waffle and hot breakfast muffins and biscuits with bacon egg etc. Happy Hour was actually 2 hours with complementary free drinks and snacks in the breakfast room. Coffee maker in room even had tea capsules and friendly staff provided cold bottled water on request.

Great location, central to everything. Comfortable bed. Black out blinds are great. Nice decor. Good shower. Nice staff.
